About

Brendan Dawes is a UK based designer and artist

My name is Brendan Dawes. I'm an artist and designer exploring the interaction of objects, people, art and technology using an eclectic mix of analog and digital materials.

Working with form and code, my work is often born from data and realised as interactive installations, electronic objects, online experiences, data visualisations, print advertising and digital campaigns.

I create this work for myself and for various global brands including Airbnb, Twitter, PWC, Google, Seagate, BBC, The Royal Shakespeare Company, The Atlantic, Bravo, M&C Saatchi, EE, Arup, Intel, Cancer Research UK, Mailchimp and many others.

If you'd like to talk about working together then please get in touch.

Testimonials

Watching ‘Fermata’ develop from it’s earliest iterations, through to the final piece on screen now, has been a revelation to us. The final piece bears testament to the collaborative journey that Bruntwood have been on with Brendan, and I wouldn’t hesitate in working with him again if the opportunity arose. — Simon Bushell, Design Coordinator, Bruntwood

Working with Brendan on our project was a true collaboration. Not only did he answer the brief, but he provided creative input, a lot of thinking and managed to improve the work at every stage. The result is something the client loves and one of my personal favourite bits of Peter and Paul commissioned work. — Lee Davies, Creative Director, Peter and Paul

Our work with Brendan helped to transform our branding and, in turn, how we communicate with our prospective clients. Brendan's ability to grasp our complex data concepts and transform them into simple and communicative visuals was incredible and, as a result, we now use one of these stunning visuals as our logo. — Edwina Dunn, CEO, Starcount

At PSLIVE Brendan Dawes took a huge subset of our data and created art. The @TheNextWeb then created a lovely article. All of it amazing — Nate Walkingshaw, Head of Experience, Pluralsight
